my work laptop has a hardware bug and never goes to sleep, so every single night my VPN connection expires after 12 hours, and then Outlook tries to check my mail, and then Microsoft authentication services panics that the same fucker who tries to hack me every night at about the same time from my own house two towns over from the office is trying to hack me again

abadidea (0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange)'s status on Wednesday, 13-Dec-2023 17:55:29 JST abadidea I’ve tried everything re: the sleep thing btw, Windows’ own diagnostics for finding issues that could prevent a successful suspend never come up with anything. This same laptop will occasionally randomly BSOD because it lost track of the hard drive and I have to leave the machine cold for a bit before it can boot again
and my previous work laptop of an identical model had all the same issues and bricked itself after a year, this one is now just over a year in use and seems more stable overall so this is the good one
